This is not a political poll

Nice article. I scanned it. Sounds like a good guy. But, unless I missed it, I still don’t know if he’s related to Cal Sheehy of LHC.

Me neither. Just figured that might give you enough background to satisfy your question.

Define “best times”?
Not a single response has addressed the global political, social, economic etc environment.
This isn’t the same planet as in the past…recent or long ago.
It is impossible to day dream about “returning” to some make believe idyllic existence.
In fact, it’s a waste of precious time.
The world is small.
Debating about turning this United States luxury liner around by fixing our government is comical at best.
It isn’t even about an internal redirect.
So if one wants to imagine a “best time” in the future, one had better be able to picture a United States much different than the one we are sitting in.
We are fat, we are lazy EXCEPT if our efforts advance our own personal wealth. We complain about stupid shit, we hoard guns and ammo thinking this will help somehow,

My question is this:
“what and whom is the primary influences ruining this republic in your opinion?”
Because if we can’t identify that, and agree on what a REALISTIC vision of the future United States looks like, well, we’re really just spinning our wheels.

I do believe this though, the second this nation engages in anything close to any sort of all out internal “civil” war will be the same day the “Global whatever” takes over.
In collusion with our so called government of course.

Oh, have we hit $40,000,000,000,000.00 in debt yet?

I'm gonna guess, most people don't realize, this country was Founded in debt, (I didn't) and how completely that initial debt affected Everything about this country.

It's crazy the things one learns by watching The History Channel.

Behind. I figure I'm 70% spent at my age. Will the next 20% be great absolutely.
Last 10% will suck.
(Damn reality check as I typed)

For the next generation it won't be as good. It's not trending the right way. Make 100k but can't afford to live in a good area, gas isn't going down. Food isn't going down. It never does..
We all had struggles, or what we considered struggles.
The next generation will have a different type of struggle which I think is worse.

Can someone make their life exceptional, absolutely. But I think the best is gone.

You hear about Jekyll Island on the history channel?

We are at the cusp of living under constant 100% surveillance that will be processed by AI....

Just wait until they have drones the size of flies that are everywhere, all the time, watching everything..... They will pick and choose who to persecute based soley on how it can advance political power.

This is not hyperbolic, this is the tragectory we are on.

Holistic housing may answer many questions. . . . . ?

This mock up is from 2003 if I’m not mistaken.

That’s over 17 years ago.
Micro drones have reportedly been in development since the 1970’s
A mosquito sized drone could land on you, take a dna sample, record audio and pictures, and fly away and you’d never know it.
Of course, as data collection and cell phone analytics progress it’s hard to imagine what further info could be gleaned from a micro drone?
Most people already lay their lives out bare on their devices one way or another.

In about 10 minutes I’m looking forward to having my soul sucked out………
So my vote is a head……

We are raising to many pussies for us to ever be a bunch of bad asses like the guys that built shit with their own hands back in the day.

It’s not that they don’t know our world, they do. They’re living in it.
What the world has become is why I feel sorry for my kids, and others kids.
There’s simple freedom, politics, morals, the decline in the value of the dollar, rabid pedos stealing children, etc which have all digressed to pure shit.

Remember when kids played outside?
Why don’t they do that anymore?
Some would blame electronic devises but those have only added to to the problem.
Kids don’t go out anymore because

little Johnny down the street disappeared a couple years ago and little Sally was abducted a year later.

This was never a thing in the 70s that I recall? Not saying never happened back then but nothing like today.

A generation of pussies who were never told no and never got a spank when they deserved one have since raised another generation of pussies. Who are worse than their parents as far as morals, work ethic, no motivation to succeed, afraid of manual labor and feel someone owes them something.

Education, or the lack there of it seems. Young people today are morons, and have very little in their heads.
No need to learn, just ask Siri or Alexa.
Most think socialism is a good idea.


. The value of the dollar is in the toilet.
30 years ago 130k would buy you a decent house in a decent neighborhood.
Today that same house is going for 650.

25 years before that a decent house was 30-40k now it’s worth over a Mil.
My 24 year old is facing the reality she will probably have a very hard time buying a home.

In 85/86 my history teacher told us we were all middle class. And in our life time we would see a drastic decline of this class leaving only the rich, and the poor.
It seems he was right on as we are seeing it now.

I’m glad I lived when I did. On a bicycle all day long, drank from the hose, a thrifty ice cream cone was 15 cents, a revel model car was a couple dollars and they would sell me plastic model glue and testors paint without an adult being present.
You could sock a bully in the face for being a bully and not be in more trouble than the little shit bird that started it.
Thieves and crooks went to jail rather than being protected by some douchebag DA.

So yeah. I feel bad for kids today.

this is pretty much what i meant.......
